Chapter 286 (1/2)
“I’ll be fine, I promise!” Yun Jian vowed when she saw Yun Yi and the trio standing rooted in waiting for her to leave together. She flashed her pearly whites. “I’m just going to have a look. I’m not stupid. I won’t go on a suicide mission.”
She was naturally saying that to placate her brother and friends.
“But Xiao Jian, you…” Yun Yi was still worried. His younger sister was skilled but that did not mean she could outrun an explosion.
“Yun Yi, when have I ever lied to you? Make a quick escape now. You guys will be safe as long as you’re more than two kilometers away. The farthest the bomb will affect is within two kilometers,” Yun Jian replied.
With his sister’s assurance, Yun Yi finally let go of his grip on her arm. He clenched his fists instead, his knuckles cracking from the motion.
“Alright, we’ll go. Xiao Jian, you got to come back safe!” Yun Yi told Yun Jian through his gritted teeth with a tone brimming with concern.
“Mm, I know.” With that, Yun Jian turned on her heels to run to the factory.
Yun Yi’s fists were tightly gripped; for the first time, he felt useless.
What happened in the past, including him being caught by Yellow-hair and his guys, was ultimately resolved by his younger sister, by her protecting him.
As her elder brother, he could only stand behind her! Even when he watched Yun Jian leave for the factory with the ticking time bomb, he could do nothing against it.
It was not that he feared death so he did not go with her. Yun Yi was more afraid of becoming a burden.
This was also his first time ever thinking of becoming stronger.
Yun Jian’s running pace accelerated. If there were still pedestrians on the street, they would feel a gust of wind speeding past them.
